Hi, I'm taking up this subject again in 2024, because I'm still using photoshop for certain actions. I much prefer Affinity Publisher( bundle: designer and photo) because I find it better organised and just as effective in many areas, but Photoshop uses two to three times less energy. I have the latest version of each software Even when the software is on but not in use! I'm referring to the same MacBook mentioned above (but in 15inch) I did read the recommendation to reset the SMC but I wonder if it's simply a case of poor management of Intel chips and the use of AMD Radeon (pro 560x) resources? I assume Affinity handles Apple's M1, M2 and M3 GPUs better? But I think there are more Intel users than Apple users even today.

Hi, Several times I load a document and realize that some resources are linked from external ssd. Strangely, Affinity detects all external resources by notifying me as soon as connect the external ssd, but the images/photos are not actualised and are therefore not displayed. Also, if I click on "integrate" and after to "link" (in ressource manager window) the resource load correctly, but I need to do that for each ressource. It's not possible to use this solution. Either this is a bug, or Affinity has not been designed to update itself in the background after the document has been loaded.

Hi, I enjoy of this V2 Affinity suite. I think it could be useful to create a widget ( mini application) for Mac and PC to get a notification of new versions and allow user to uploads each app or all together of Affinity suite without open each Apps. This would save time and avoid waiting for applications to be downloaded and installed . It could also allow user to manage default parameters, downloaded or futur Add-ons and display a library of all Affinity tutorials with a search function and show YouTube video inside your App. This one must operate independently of publisher, Designer and Photo. Thanks for your work.

Yes I always save the history of document . Surprisingly, after copy and paste two time the elements of my document in another one I have three different size: first : 382mo second 247mo and last one : (currently in use) 131mo I don't understand: what weighs most heavily in my document are the photos , but by default Afpub use "related document"? Does the 'Save History with Document' save original images In the afpub file ? This could explain the decrease in the size of the file after copying into another one since the history is not copied ! I will send you the three files for expertise as soon as my client has validated my work

Hi NathanC. I have uploaded the last IPS file I the dropbox folder. I can't send the work file until my client has validated the file and it has been printed. by making a backup after each modification I managed to finalise the graphic composition. But Afpub keeps crashing. the reason is still different in the use of Afpub but still seems to be related to a lack of cache in the MBpro

Hi, I'm experiencing same crash of Affinity Publisher on two documents (brochure). Mac 2018 : Ventura 13.2.1 , 16go ram, Intel Afpub : 2.0.4 I'm thought that recreate same document and copy and paste layers from the previous document that crash could be enough to solve the issue, but no. Afpub crash when a save the file either using ctrl+s or folder -> save the file, only after a long period of work. I am sure that this problem come from cache management of Afpub. My Mac has no more cache available using publisher, I have to clear the cache regularly with Clean My Mac. I use many 4k photos , normally they are integrated as a link but I note that Afpub use lot of cache each time I add new one and I divert the silhouette. it's really annoying and it stops me from moving forward. I can't see myself recreating a new document and copying the content each time from previous file. Is it possible that the last update of MacOS created a conflict ? The recovery version saves my work but some of it is still lost and I can't afford to lose time !

Hi, My MacBook Pro( 16go, Intel, Ventura 13.2.1) use all the cache of MacBook using several 4K photos on Graphic composition , if I haven't "CleanMyMac" application I can't empty the cache to restore zoom touch and screen freeze of Afpub 2.0.4. Photoshop had added a button to empty cache of his application, It could be great to have this solution . Also I find that Afpub use a lot of cache and handles it less well than photoshop.
